What Is Black August To The Black Comrade

August 14, 2026 Benny Schaft, Workers World. Educate! Black August, Black Liberation, History, Systemic Racism

Since the inception of both capitalism and the creation of the white supremacist structure, Black people have been singled out as an important revolutionary and dangerous section of the working class. This is why Black August is so important to the Black community. But to truly understand why this is the case, we must look at the history of Black August. That history goes much deeper than we know now, especially concerning the revolutionary actions of comrades like George Jackson, Jonathan Jackson and so many others. Black August goes back much further than that, with its roots in the tradition of Black resistance and the repression waged against that resistance.

In Unwavering Solidarity With The African And Anti-Colonial Struggle

August 4, 2026 Black Alliance for Peace. Resist! Black Liberation, Cuba, International Solidarity, The Left

The recent declaration of war published by the U.S. fascist state attacking Cuba and its allies serves as a glaring call for urgent and strategic unity among the targeted organizations, the broadest sectors of the U.S. left, and all people of conscience. It comes as no surprise that a scrambling empire would see organized, sustained resistance that refuses to silently accommodate its lawless, genocidal attacks on human rights globally as a credible threat. Directly out of their imperialist playbook, it is quite clear that this is an attempt to criminalize Cuba’s existence while intentionally omitting the actual cause of suffering for the Cuban people - the decades-long blockade systematically depriving them of food, medicine, and fuel, designed to strangle the revolution by all available means.

Patriot Front And What Once Was Chocolate City

July 9, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Black Liberation, Patriot Front, Washington DC, White Supremacy

The story behind the now iconic photos of Black and brown Washington, DC, commuters who were forced to travel with Patriot Front white supremacists on the metro system begins almost 10 years ago. The Unite the Right rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11 and 12 in 2017 was a turning point for public displays of white nationalism. Fresh off the exhilaration of Donald Trump’s inauguration, and angry that the city council voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, thousands of white supremacist groups such as Vanguard America gathered there in solidarity with one another.

Sailing Toward A Reimagined Past: A Review Of ‘Freedom Ship’

May 23, 2026 Sam E. Anderson, Pambazuka. Educate! Black Liberation, Book Review, History, Slavery

The story of the Underground Railroad has long been etched into the American imagination as a terrestrial drama: a network of hidden attics, candlelit tunnels, and midnight journeys through moonlit forests and swamps. This land-based narrative, while powerful, has always contained a glaring geographical blind spot. As Marcus Rediker points out in his groundbreaking new work, Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea, what was the most effective escape route for the millions enslaved in the Deep South, far from the northern free states? The answer, literally and figuratively, lay in the tide.

Iran Has The Strait Of Hormuz; What Can Black People Use For Leverage?

May 14, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Redistricting, Systemic Racism, Tennessee, Voting Rights

The militant reaction to the Tennessee legislature’s recent obliteration of the state’s only predominantly Black voting district struck an emotional chord with Africans throughout the U.S. Protesters crowded into the legislative chamber, chanting, waving placards, sounding air horns, and leaving no doubts about their anger. State Representative Justin Pearson then eloquently spoke for many when he said: Today’s vote to redraw the congressional districts in Tennessee set our state back over 150 years. It was a political lynching that violated the rights of every Tennessean.

Did Scotus Just Do Us A Favor By Elucidating The Lies Of ‘America?’

May 8, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Elections, Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Voting Rights Act

While writing this piece, I could already hear the reactionaries - many of them Black and subscribers to the Black MISleadership, Petty Bourgeois Class newsletter, many still refusing to emancipate themselves from the Democrat Party plantation and many who act as willing vanguards and public advocates for it - castigating a position that questions the larger futility of Black people voting in the United States as it pertains to the larger question of our collective liberation from the domestic colonialism/imperialism imposed on us by the grander dictatorship and tyranny of racial capitalism.

Political Snobbery Delays Black Liberation

April 29, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Black misleadership, Democratic Party, Elections, Political Education

As the world has grown weary of the morally bankrupt and criminally insane shenanigans of the Trump administration, Democratic Party leaders have struggled to contain their glee. They smell blood in the water, and they lick their chops in anticipation of a proverbial “blue wave” of victories in the upcoming mid-term elections. While the Democrats have felt a sense of euphoria as they have watched millions of people pour into the streets during “No Kings” protests, Party leaders most certainly have been alarmed by the overwhelming whiteness of the crowds.

When Black People Are Xenophobic They Risk Black Deaths In Iran

March 29, 2026 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Black Liberation, Iran, Revolution, US Embassy

In recent days, Mylo Simmons has given heart-rending interviews about his only child, Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons, who perished along with five other soldiers after a refueling aircraft they were operating crashed in Iraq and rendered them casualties of the satanic imperialist/Zionist war against Iran. If we, as an African community in America, had done our job, would Simmons not only be alive, but also have never considered enlisting in the U.S. military in the first place? The U.S. military is no place for Black youth. Because the military’s sole purpose is to wage war to advance the interests of imperialism, then ipso facto the military wages war on us.

17th Annual Black People’s March On The White House

October 29, 2025 Black is Back Coalition, Popular Resistance. Resist! Black is Back, Black Liberation, Mass Action, White House

On November 1- 2 the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations will hold its 17th Annual Black People’s March on the White House in Washington, D.C. This year’s Black People’s March on the White House comes at a critical time when the world is watching the U.S. descend into a deepening crisis, with the breakdown of its foundational institutions and principles of free speech, religion, assembly and association. In a September 25, 2025 presentation to hundreds of generals and admirals of the U.S. military, the US president called on the military to make the war “at home,” in the US and to begin initiating war games, deploying national guard troops to the cities where Africans have a heavy presence. This is a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the use of federal troops in police actions within the U.S.

In Honor And Memory Of Assata Shakur

September 27, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace. Educate! Assata Shakur, Black Liberation, Cuba, Obituary

On September 25, 2025, the revolutionary Assata Shakur transitioned, leaving behind a legacy of uncompromising resistance and a blueprint for internationalist solidarity. As an anti-imperialist organization rooted in the long thread of the Black Radical Peace Tradition, we honor her with a renewed commitment to the liberation struggle to which she dedicated her life. Sister Assata understood that we are a people at war, and the struggle against this war is not one-dimensional. It is a fight for human dignity, community survival, popular power, self-determination, and complete liberation. The targeting, imprisonment, and torture she endured were the state’s counterinsurgent tactics to squash a movement by capturing its warriors—those who have the radical idea that African/Black people have the right to defend themselves and to be free.

Black August: We Turn Destructive Spaces Into Laboratories For Liberation

August 23, 2025 Kwaneta Harris, Truthout. Strategize! Black August, Black Liberation, Black Panthers, History, Prison abolition

The concrete tomb they built to bury our revolution has become the very ground from which it grows. From behind these concrete walls and steel bars, where time moves differently and hope becomes a revolutionary act, I write to you about Black August — a month that prison administrators would rather see forgotten, but which burns eternal in the hearts of those who understand that freedom is not a privilege to be granted, but a right to be seized. To understand why this resistance continues, we must first understand its origins. Black August, observed each August since 1979, commemorates the deaths of Black liberation fighters who died in prison. Particularly, Black August pays homage to Jonathan Jackson, who was killed on August 7, 1970, while attempting to liberate his brother George Jackson and other prisoners.

Frantz Fanon’s Daughter: ‘Defeatism Has No Place’ In Liberation Struggles

August 21, 2025 Frances Madeson, Truthout. Strategize! Black August, Black Liberation, Frantz Fanon, Racism, Revolution

Public gatherings this week in Jackson, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana — featuring an especially distinctive guest — will honor the legacy of revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon (1925-1961). The Black Alliance for Peace, an African internationalist organization committed to peace and opposition to war and imperialism, and Cooperation Jackson, which is building a solidarity economy anchored by worker-owned co-ops in West Jackson, are co-hosting several Black August events with Fanon’s eldest daughter. Mireille Fanon Mendès-France is a jurist, an educator, and an anti-racism expert who passionately shares her father’s commitment to rebellion against colonialism in its many forms.

To Fight For Full Liberation, We Need To Recognize That We’re Not Free

June 20, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Black Liberation, Capitalism, Donald Trump, Juneteenth, Racism, Slavery, United States

Amid the chaos of mass protest of Trump administration policies, such as the systematic targeting of immigrant communities, the drive towards potential catastrophic war with Iran, and attacks on free speech, this year marks the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth, a holiday celebrated by Black communities that marks the end of slavery in the US. To mark this day, Peoples Dispatch spoke to Rachel Domond, a young Black organizer and visual artist, who for years has organized Black communities and is a part of the movement for socialism, as a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The Fall Of 2020: How Liberals Ceded Solidarity

May 30, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Activism, Black America, Black Liberation, DEI, George Floyd, Liberals, performative activism, Rebellion2020

Last Sunday marked five years since the world witnessed the public lynching of George Floyd at the hands, or as it was, the knee of the State. The aftermath of the livestreamed white “supremacy” webinar on the denial of the human rights of Black/Afro-resident people in the United States was the proliferation of incendiary uprisings nationwide that saw the incineration of buildings that housed businesses and even police precincts. - The nation was jolted awake after months of being moribund due to State-sanctioned covid quarantines and isolation. The streets were transformed from apparition avenues to lively lanes of social activity as people of all races, ethnicities, and genders coalesced to demand “justice” for Floyd and Brianna Taylor, both executed by the State, and Ahmad Aubrey who was shot to death by a civilian lynch mob.
